RE: BGP / Zebra

[Anders Gjære <Anders@oslo.kvalito.no>]

The documentation on www.zebra.org doesn't mention anything about

Stephane: What kind of nic, and cpu/mainboard are you using?


Our future goal is too suport that we can route the whole 1gbps line,
but for now we only have 100mbit nic's, but the limit is the
zebra/bgp-router (26mbit)

Thanks

# Zebra is supported and works perfectly fine on 2.4.x.
